<TITLE>14. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 David said, "As a hart thirsts for the waterbrook, my soul thirsts after thee, O God."
Could you imagine the little deer with the blood streaming out of it, and it's running, and the hounds is right behind it. And it's got its little nose up [Brother Branham imitates panting--Ed.] sniffing everywhere. "If I could just smell water. I've got to get to water, or I'll die." Once to water it's safe. It's got to find water or die. David said, "As the hart panteth for the waterbrook, my soul thirsts after thee, O God."
When men and women get to a place that they've got to have God or die, you'll get to the waterbrook. That's right. If you're sick and you need healing, if you're in a desperate condition, I can say there is fountain filled with Blood drawn from Immanuel's veins, Where sinners plunge beneath the flood, Lose all their guilty stain. It's Life Everlasting to know Him, not to know His Book, not to know His church, not to know His creed, but to know Him, know Him your personal Saviour Lord, fills you with the Holy Spirit. It puts Life in you to walk forward. That's the Life that David was talking about.
My lips shall praise Thee, because Thy lovingkindness is better to me than Life. My lips shall praise Thee.

L-44 Let us bow our heads just a moment. I feel that message just a moment ago was something cutting me off, and saying this is the time. We're going to go to prayer.
I wonder how many in here would like to be remembered in prayer just now, if you'd raise up your hands, and say, "Remember me, Brother Branham, to God." God bless you; that's good. God bless you.
How many in here that's not a Christian, would like to have a--a fellowship with Christ, you... Maybe you've joined church somewhere. Maybe you've been even immersed in water. But yet you know that that thirsting and hungering for God isn't in your heart, but you'd like to have it there, would you just raise up your hands and say, "Remember me, Brother Branham; pray for me tonight." God bless you, lady. God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady, that's good. God bless you; that's fine.

L-45 Is there a backslider here... Yes, back in there, sister, God bless you. Is there a backslider here, that'd say, "Brother Branham, I've wandered away. I don't want to think I was a hypocrite, Brother Branham, but I--I really not living where I should live. If I would leave this building tonight and go home, and I'd feel of my heart acting a little funny, I'd call the doctor, and he'd come up, say, "It's a heart attack. She's dying. He's dying." It might be that way. Brother Branham, I--I don't want it to happen like that. I--I'm not ready yet to go. I--I'm not prayed up with God. I--I want a little closer walk." Would you raise your hands, say, "God, remember me." God bless you, that's good. Hands everywhere.

L-46 I'm going to ask the pianist or organist, whichever it is, to come to the organ just a moment or piano, one. And I'm going to pray. Is there some here would really just... that's living with God, but would like to have a little closer walk with God, just say, "Lord, remember me. My soul is thirsting, O Lord. I--my... I'm just so thirsty, I don't know what I'll do, Lord. Help me. I'm--I'm in desperate need. I've..." I want to come."
There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins. No other fountain, where sinners plunge beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains. A dying thief he rejoiced to see that fountain in his day. There may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.
